Marco Langbroek sought my advice off-list on a possible observation of the 2nd stage that he made: 71951 09 023B 4353 G 20090508210427640 17 75 1449005+716200 56 S+060 10 It seems probable that he observed the 2nd stage; I get a reasonable fit by starting with the high drag elset I posted today: 1 71951U 09125.95957158 .02472750 00000-0 30000-2 0 04 2 71951 112.7800 216.3633 0519924 282.5289 71.8193 15.08518086 05 and making a moderate reduction in rate of decay, and smaller changes in RAAN and argument of perigee: 1 71951U 09125.95957159 .01895775 00000-0 23000-2 0 02 2 71951 112.7800 217.0376 0519924 282.5074 71.2250 15.08518086 07 This is still rather rough, but perhaps sufficient to make confirming observations.
